THE SUSPENSION OF HEALY:

sexton inquired II IT was proper for him
to move to rescind Healy's suspension.
Speaker Peel replied: No motion would
be competent unless it appeared on the pa
pers of the House.
Sexton said in the absence of Healy he
was authorized for him to say that if Major
SaundersOn would withdraw the offensive
charges TO which Healy's language was in
reply, Healy would withdraw the ex-
pIessiOns deemed by the House offensive.
Jacob Bright, liberal and brother of
John Bright, asked why it was when two
members of the House committed the same
otfense one was suspended while the other
was not.
The speaker said in ordinary circum-
stances he would decline to answer that
question or any other question implying
that his action was not impartial. But in
the present circumstances he would ex-
plain. In the second instance in which n
breach of the rules of the house had been
committed that of Sexton) an apology
followed the withdrawal of the expression
causing the breach
Sexton moved that Healy be heard at the
bar of the House
The Speaker declared it could not be
done
Sexton
ASKED MAJOR RsAUNDERsoN To WITHDRAW
his assertions regarding Healy, which ex.
asperated him into making a response for
which he was suspended.
SaundersOn remaining silent, Gladstone
put to him the direct question whether he
was prepared to render the House any
assistance by the withdrawal of his often
sive expressions.
Conservatives cried, "No, no, "nO,
don't! don't"
SaundersOn said he never alluded to
Healy directly or indirectly, because he
felt, as regards Healy, that he was unable
TO subStantiate charges so as To bring con-
viction TO the minds of the members of the
House. Cheers. Hear" "Hear"D The
matter was then dropped
HAMMERING SAUNDERsON.
Subseq Sexton resuming the de-
bate on the Irish crimes act amendment
bill, said SaundersOn charged him with
direct completely in the crime If the
accusation were well founded why did the
Irish NicerOy approve his present appoint
ment rs High Sheriff of Dublin? His
name rs a member OF the League had been
linked with that of Sheridan, the lnvinci-
BILE, hut Sheridan was never a member of
the Executive Council of the Land League.
Did Sauuderson, in pointing to him
Snv lg.n 10 hnH
Col. King Harmon, against whom the Major
recently unsuccessfully competed for the
new government Office of parliamentary
under secretary for Ireland? (Parnellite
cheersl. For Sheridan and Colonel King
Harmon once canvassed the same cOnstit-
uency together. Eagan, also treasurer OF
the old Land League, was at one time an
old friend OF Col. King Harmon (cheers).
They were fellow members of the council
of the Home Rule League. Not only that
but Eagan wrote for the Colonel his political
address to the electors (laughter). lfpast
association with men charged with crime
meant completely in that crime, which side
OF the house was deepest in assassinations'
II was
MANIFESTLT ABSURD
for SaundeTSOn To accuse the executive OF
the land league Of knowing men were muir
derers because their names were mentioned
in connection with the Phgnix Park af-
fair. He (SextOn) never learned Of any
factor anything that had been proved
which would warrant him in changing the
opinion he always entertained that Egan
and those associated with him were innO-
cent of malignant charges brought against
them. Cries Heart Hear" Saun-
dersOn's attack was both mean
and cowardly. IL did not con-
tain direct, explicit charges, but was
composed of insinuations founded on scan
dalous rumors. When exposed to the light
of day, not rag of those scandalous fabri-
cations would hold together; not one Of
them would remain whether they took the
shape of a simple lie, OF that Of a manifest,
clumsy, malignant forgery. lParnellites
cheer.
PARNELL LETTER DECLARED FORGERY.
The alleged letter OF Mr.. Parnell, sup
posed TO have been addressed 10 Mr.. Egan,
relative to the Phoenix Park murders,
which the Times published this morning,
has caused intense excitement among all
parties. In an interview to-day. Mr..
Clancy (Parnellite), member for Dublin
county, branded the letter as an infamous
connection and declared that il bears in
ternal evidence of forgery. He said, also,
that suspicion was already directed against
N aartain uersOn "a the foTGeT
An Irish member Of Parliament departed
for Dublin this morning to compare the
handwriting in the letter attributed TO Mr..
ParneH with that Of the person suspected.
The Globe, commenting on the letter,
saws: Until the horrible accusation that
Mr.. Parrnell wrote the letter is proved, We
shall discredit it,
The Pail Mall Gazette says: Until the
authenticity of the letter shall be proved,
there will be no need TO discuss its con-
tents"
The 81. james Gqzette says; The letter
is 20 grave document that it will not do
to regard it as genuine until Mr.. Parneil
shall be heard concerning it.
Mr.. Parnell, the agent OF the Associated
Press il authorized to state, will deny that
he wrote the letter. Mr. Parnel viii
make this denial in the House ofCommdna
The editor OF the fIsges will be summoned
to the har Of the House Of Commons to ex-
plain the authorship Of the letter. The
sensation produced by the publication Of
the latter has been 50 great that the speci-
ally large edition iszEed TO meet the eK-
pecta demand proved insufficient.
